    No, it is true. Look it up. This is per capita. (per head of the family).
    16.8k PHP is the poverty line in the Philippines and about 30% give or
    take 5% is below this.

    The gross national product per head is about 1500 USD a year if I
    remember correctly, which is still ridiculously low, but looks a bit
    better,due to the top incomes being insanely high compared to the
    lower ones.

    note that in the philippines, with around 250k PHP gross a month for a
    family of 4, a normal western income, you are already part of the top
    0.1%.

    No it is true, it is yearly, I have lived here for nine years I see it around
    me. Also keep in mind that in Manila people earn a lot more than in the
    provinces.

    If you do not believe me, look up government numbers on the poverty
    line.

    BTW I said, per head of the family, I meant per head. Which means that
    if you have one bread winner in a family of 4, the income of the
    breadwinner is divided by 4 to calculate their income per capita (head).

    Sweet science is to hit and not get hit, emphasizing the "hit" first. Not clinch and run which is what Floyd will resort to.

    Im from Philippines so I know what the basic salary is. FYI wiki is not the most accurate source. Honestly living on 16K PHP for a whole year is not possible. Most people i know spend 16K every other months on smarthphones alone.

    Because you are likely part of the upper 3-1%. I have lived here for 9
    years and I am still amazed how some Filipinos can close their eyes to
    the poverty right under their noses.

    As I said, If you want numbers, from the PH government I will be happy
    to link them.

    Educate yourself. Look up the numbers from the philippine government
    itself. The same government that lowered the poverty line to not look
    too bad internationally.

    Ok example. Lets say a beggar makes 220 php a day on average,
    every single day, and is the sole breadwinner for a family of 5, he
    makes 220*365/5 =16.1k a year per head of his family.

    Now lets take a yaya that has 2 children with a runaway husband and
    makes 4000 a month, she makes 4000*12/3=16000 per year per
    head of her family.

    And these are manila examples, where only 10% is below the poverty
    line. Now imagine the rest of the country.
